Animated light with power grid

I've been trying out the cinematic editor to get these swaying and flickering lights to make some nice atmosphere for my map. I really like how easy it is to make those with the editor but I have a problem. The lights doesn't work with the power grid. Is there any possible solution for this?

    Cinematics operate outside of the code that handles the power grid. You would need to associate you new cinematics with an entity and modify the power grid code to update that entity on Power State changes. NS2 unfortunately does not have a robust entity (Triggers, Targets, Listeners, etc) system in vanilla. A community alternative is @JimWest's ExtraEntitiesMod but that would make you map dependent upon a mod. Sorry, no simple answer here.

    Cool idea, haven't good an entity that can interact with powernodes like getting triggered when they change, will add that soon.

    @JimWest That would be awesome. I hope that's not too hard to make.
    I wouldn't mind getting my map depended on ExtraEntitiesMod if I'd get some cool animated lights.
